House name	Description
Bella	At the time of Griffith's Valuation Arthur O'Connor was the lessor of a caretaker's house, valued at £2 10s, as well as 136 acres. Lewis recorded Bella as the residence of E. French in 1837. A ruin is still extant at the site. An entrance gateway named Flynn's Cottage is visible here now!
Kingsland	At the time of Griffith's Valuation John Conmee was leasing a property valued at £12 from Viscount Lorton's estate at Kingsland, barony of Frenchpark. He had been in possession of this property since at least 1814. Matthew Conmee also leased a property in the same townland, valued at £6 together with 190 acres, from Lord Lorton's estate.
Barnaboy	Francis O'Grady was leasing a property at Barnaboy, barony of Frenchpark, valued at £4 15s together with 179 acres of land from William Longfield's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Farm buildings exist at the site now.
Ratra House & Stables	Lord de Freyne held a house valued at £4 10s at Ratra, barony of Frenchpark, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. In 1814 Ratra was the residence of Henry Irwin. A house, labelled Ratra, is shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map. A larger building, on a different site, is labelled Ratra House on the later 25-inch edition [M684939]. Neither of these house are extant now. Offices, the property of Lord de Freyne's estate and valued at £7 10s, were located at Clashcarragh, barony of Frenchpark, at the time of Griffith's Valuation.
Sheepwalk	James McGann was leasing a property at Sheepwalk, barony of Frenchpark, valued at £10, from Lord de Freyne's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The townland of Sheepwalk contains a fine collection of early to mid-twentieth century houses and associated farm buildings. One house, now derelict, appears to be earlier and has large associated outbuildings.
Cloonshanville	William Davis was the occupier of a property valued at £8, together with over 120 acres at Leggatinty, barony of Frenchpark, at the time of Griffith's Valuation. In the same townland he was leasing a property, including a corn mill, valued at £18, to James McCann. In 1814 Paul Davis was resident at Clonchanville, Frenchpark and Lewis records this as the seat of J. Davis, in 1837. The 1749 Census of Elphin records W. Davis resident at Clegarna in the parish of Tibohine. Only some foundation stones of Cloonshanville Mill remain. There is a house, probably not original, on the site of Cloonshanville House.
Hermitage	Built by Charles O'Conor (1710-1790) the antiquarian and head of the family circa 1760. His great great grandson Charles O'Conor was leasing the property at Ballaghcullia, valued at £10, to Honoria O'Conor at the time of Griffith's Valuation. In 1749 the Census of Elphin records Denis O'Conor as being of "Ballinagar". The house at Hermitage is still extant though not occupied and a modern bungalow has been constructed in front of it.
Mullen	In 1837 Lewis records a house named Mullen as the seat of Lynch Plunkett. The 1749 Census of Elphin records Mullen or Mullin, in the parish of Tibohine, barony of Frenchpark, as the residence of J. Barlow. The house, labelled Mullen, is shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but does not appear on the later 25-inch edition of the 1890s.
Rathkeery Glebe	Rev. William French was leasing a glebe house at Glebe East, barony of Frenchpark, from Lord de Freyne's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £7. The house no longer survives but an entrance gateway and trees indicate its whereabouts.
Bellanagare Castle	Bellanagare was the home of the O'Conor family including the well-known historian Charles O'Conor. It is noted by Wilson as his seat in 1786. He later built Hermitage House some distance away and Bellanagare Castle is now in ruins.
